A Warrior Undefeatable

Chapter 113

“Hilda, do you know if Jared is acquainted with Ms. Sullivan? Otherwise, why would she be inquiring for

him?” Maria asked Hilda, curious.

After all, Hilda had made Jared's acquaintance long ago, so Maria reckoned she might know his affairs

well.

Alas, Hilda shook her head. “I don't know, but he has just gotten out of prison, so he probably doesn't

know a big shot like her.”

On second thought, Maria felt that it indeed made sense. He was in prison for three years, so how

could he possibly be acquainted with Josephine?

“I just hope he doesn’t run his mouth in front of her and drag us all down,” she said, fretting.

For some inexplicable reason, she found Jared highly unreliable.

“He'll never do that.”

On the contrary, Hilda had absolute trust in

the man.

Meanwhile, Jared awkwardly pushed the door open and walked into the office.

At the sight of Josephine sitting there, he grinned.

“Didn't you say you were at home?” she demanded coldly.

“Uh... I'm indeed at home! I've now considered the office my home,” he answered as a light bulb went

off in his head.

“Who is Hilda Wallace?” she questioned, going straight to the point.

“Will you believe me if I say that she's my sister?” Jared asked in return, his eyes trained on her.

In response, Josephine chuckled coldly. “Do you think I'll believe that?”

Flashing her an awkward smile, Jared had no choice but to come clean about his relationship with

Hilda. “Hilda and I are just long-time neighbors. Our relationship isn't what you think...”

Josephine felt much more at peace after listening to his explanation. In truth, she trusted him, but she

wanted to hear him say it personally.

“I did not make any assumptions about your relationship with her. The two of you can do whatever you

want. That has nothing to do with me. How presumptuous of you!”

She rolled her eyes, though inwardly, she was elated.

Jared could tell that she was no longer angry, so he queried, “How did you know I'm here? And how did

you know about Hilda?”

He was rather curious to know how she learned that he was currently working at her company.

After all, he was just an ordinary employee, so news about him joining the company could not have

possibly reached Josephine's ears. If that were truly the case, she would have long since died from

exhaustion.

Josephine got to her feet. “Never you mind that. You could've just told me if you wanted a job, and I Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

could have appointed you as the general manager right away. Why do you want to be a sales

representative? Besides, you don't lack that paltry sum.”

“I don't want to be the general manager, and I don't have the time for that. I only came to work here to

appease my parents. Otherwise, they'd worry about me. Besides, I still have tons of things to do, so I

won't be staying here for long.”

Jared hastily waved his hands to decline the offer since he did not want to be shackled to the company.

“Oh right, why don't your parents want to live at Dragon Bay anymore? Isn't the environment there

pretty good?” Josephine asked in puzzlement as she again remembered how Gary and Hannah

insisted on leaving the mansion.

“I'm not sure either.” Jared shook his head, for he still did not know why his parents were adamant

about leaving Dragon Bay and even said those things to him.

Then, he continued, “But I feel as though someone said something to them, and that

made them leave.”

No sooner had he said that than realization dawned upon Josephine. “I know! It must've been Xavier!

He's really too much. He thinks that I'll take a fancy to him by doing so. So insidious of him!”

“Xavier? The general manager?” Jared was stunned for a moment.

At long last, he understood why Xavier suddenly appeared during his interview back then and

employed him. It turns out that he has long since known about me and also my relationship with

Josephine!
